Mahogany trees, found in rain forests of Africa and South and Central America, have long been prized in the manufacture of fine furniture and cabinets because of their color and hardness. Mahogany also resists rot and damage by insects such as termites. | EBONY | Ebony trees usually occur in tropical areas throughout Asia and Africa. Ebony trees are dioecious evergreen trees with grayish- black bark. Ebony trees flower between late spring and early summer, and their oval-shaped berries turn from yellow to red to purplish-black when fully ripe. A slow-growing tree, the Ebony tree has a dark black, glossy, and hard heartwood whose density is higher than water; thus , the longer it is buried in the soil, the harder and darker it becomes. This makes it an ideal material for industrial arts | |
